Off to get a shower now....... clean myself.

Inside and out I hope

Have your own opinion by all means but why agree with him? Why acknowledge him as some kind of benchmark?

Only because it was mentioned in the first post..... sorry sir

Even less of a legend than Ferguson, who isn't a legend.

…not as a player, he did entirely the right thing for himself and his career when he left but I’ve never doubted his allegiance to the club as a supporter. I like the lad, loved watching him play he was probably the last of the English street footballers.

Added a poll for you.

Where's the shortbread biscuit option ?

Dunc is a legend to me.

I mean its up to people who they consider legends.

I remember watching him as a kid play one game in particular , I think Bolton at goodison , and it was as good a performance I’ve ever seen from any Everton player of any player actually at goodison . I thought we had a generational talent and I suppose we did but first chance he got he was off down the 62 .

I don’t hate him , I feel privileged to have seen him come through and to dream of what he was going to do for but he , perfectly reasonably , chose glory at united . Fair enough but that choice makes you a united not an Everton one .

I would imagine he regrets not a single second mind but Everton legend , nope .

Yes, but you did not have to go along with it. That utter gobshite should not be involved with any debates concerning us.

 

[MikeH72]

Consider this. If winning something helps makes one a legend, then we have NONE in many decades

Well yeah obviously.

Fair point, although I think some players can be considered a legend by everyone, such as Neville Southall and Kevin Ratcliffe.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He's not even an Everton icon, nevermind legend.

 

[blulouie]

Nope

 

[Ged G]

Well yeah obviously.

If it is obvious. then why is this debate even here? And if we have to have it, why is Spit the Carra mentioned?

There's something mythological about Duncan Ferguson. There even was when he was playing for us - especially so when he was injured and we couldn't wait for him to be back.

Which is in itself enough to make him a legend as far as I'm concerned.

 

[barneygumble]

Legend is bandied round far too much, for me.

The closest thing we've got to a legend in 20 years is Ferguson & Cahill. For what its worth, I love Dunc, but he's not a Legend.

The last Everton legend is Southall.
